CLARK'S N O N E- 

 SUCH. In offering this 

 new second early sweet 

 corn, we quote the follow- 

 ing from a letter written 

 us by Mr. C. S. Clark, the 

 originator : " I have been 

 growing sweet corn very 

 largely for the trade for 

 fourteen years, and have 

 never introduced a new 

 sort until this one now. 

 This novelty (Clark's 

 None-Such) I can recom- 

 mend as the best out of over 

 eighty sorts which I now 

 grow, and I will give any 

 man one hundred dollars 

 for its equal in quality. It 

 is sure to please because 

 of its good size ear, strong 

 growing qualities, and 

 heavy yield. I will guar- 

 antee every cob to be pink 

 in color, with white grain 

 of good size tinted with 

 pink at cob end. From a 

 large crop grown for seed 

 this season not one ear 

 showed a sign of glaze or 

 flint, therefore, it must be 

 sweet and tender. It is 

 twelve to fourteen-rowed, 

 conies in use after Moore's 

 Concord, with larger ears. 

 The fodder is of beautiful 

 color, tinted with pink, 

 both on leaves and 

 stalks." 



In a critical test of this 

 variety on our trial 

 grounds, the past two sea- 

 sons, we tind Mr. Clark's 

 strong claims fully sub- 

 stantiated. Pkt., lOo.; pint, 

 20c.; qt. , 40c.; post-paid; qt., 

 aic; peck, $1.00; bush., 

 75, by freight or express. 



THE GUARANTEE. 



This new variety has had 

 a great reputation for 

 years in one of the largest 

 market houses in Phllar 

 delphia, where it has been 

 brought in its season by a 

 Chester County market 

 man. It had become 

 known to its patrons as 

 " The Guarantee," lie 

 having always, in dispos- 

 ing of it, guaranteed it to 

 be the sweetest in the 

 whole market. We have 

 seen his supply of this

long before the market was half over, notwithstanding the 

 fact that liis price was always 10c. per dozen above his com- 

 petitors. It grows a fair-sized, handsome white ear, grain 

 very much shrivelled when dry, coming in second early or 

 intermediate, and producing three to four ears on each stalk. 

 Pint, 25c.; qt., 40c.; peck, $1..50. 



THREE AVERAGE EAB9, BUBLINGTON HYBRID, }4 NATURAL SIZE. 



BURLINGTON HYBRID. This variety has been 

 grown fer several years with great protit by a few truckers 

 of Burlington County, N. J. It has been adopted by a large 

 number of our own patrons, on our recommendation, many 

 of whom write us it gives them entire control of the early 

 markets, proving extremely profitable. It is a cross between 

 Adams' Extra Early and a large-eared, productive variety of 

 sugar corn. Its great market value can be readily seen from 

 the fact that it is as early as the Adams', with an ear 

 fully as large as Stowell's Evergreen, and more pro- 

 ductive than either, producing equal to the most prolific 

 field corn, it liaving frequently produced over one hundred 

 bushels to the acre grown for a field crop. Although not 

 legitimately a sugar corn, yet the husks, blades and ear 

 in a green state exactly resemble the sugar varieties, and it 

 sells readily in market as a sweet or sugar corn. It is, how- 

 ever, of much better eating quality than the Adams'. When 

 dry the grain is smooth and of a creamy-white color. Tlie 

 stalks grow to a height of about five feet and very compact, 

 admitting of closer planting than any other variety; the 

 ears begin to set low down and are borne three to four to a 

 stalk. Pkt., lOc; pint, 20c.; qt., 40c., post-paid; qt., 25c.; 

 peck, $1.00: bush., $3.50, by freight. 



THE CORY will produce good ears for boiling m fifty- 

 two days from planting. It has a larger kernel than the 

 Marblehead and is quite distinct, being nearly white in color. 

 Our stock comes directly from Mr. Jos. Cory, the originator. 

 Pint, 2nc.: qt., .3,5c., post-paid; peck, QOc.; bush, $3.25. 



FIRST OF ALL. This new variety is a selection from 

 the Cory, coming in a few days ahead of this famous sort. 

 The ears are about the same size as Cory, a little lighter in 

 color. It cannot fail to prove valuable for early market. 

 Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 20c.; qt., 35c.; peck, 81.00; bush., $3.75.
